    Easy half. Everyone has been decent at least but Leicester have been awful I think.

    I read that a lot whenever we're controlling a game. It's always the opponent who is bad. The team gets very little credit. It was only QPR, only Hull, only Leicester...

    Cue the avalanche of 'it was only Leicester'.

    Nobody have a poor game, lots of movement, maybe a bit too much keeness to impress from Di Maria. Blind showing his quality. Still worry every time Jones gets the ball.

    Leicester have been far worse than I expected. But there has obviously been some good United performances.
    I don't know if we can go overboard wth praise though.
     
    Time to put this lot to the sword - as we should have done at their place earlier in the season.
     
    The tsn people at half time are talking out of their arse, saying Rooney can't play at high pace and do quick counters so that's why he is playing midfield :lol:
     

    Herrera has become the new Kagawa on here

    I know you're not trying to be one; hence the 'caftards I remember (to be sensible)' qualifier.

    ADM played that hard through ball that caromed off the Leicster defender and sent all of their defense scrambling for the airborne ball that Blind well, you know.

    Either that or I need glasses and have to prep an apology.

    I get it now, no need for apology, it's just that we value that contribution differently is all. He is much better playing there that's for sure, as opposed to being a striker.
     
    Rooney has misplaced some passes but he's been on the ball more than anyone. He has been decent overall and not as bad as his haters make out.
     
    and certainly hope DDG can make it 10 clean sheets. As well as he has been playing, would like to see a better ratio than 9 in 25 starts...
     
    Faster passing and more concentration and there you go, a fairly fluid United are there for everyone to see. Four at the back is the way to go, and Carrick being out could be a blessing in disguise. Blind has been truly outstanding.
    Herrera in for Wayne, and Mata in for either RvP or Falcao after the 60-tish minute is what I am expecting in the second half.
     
    Very good first half performance, Di Maria is loving that free role, Januzaj has played his way into the game nicely and Blind is class.
     
    Di Maria has been much better today. Running from deep is what he's all about, twice he's broken through already, one of which we scored from. He's still a bit wasteful but he makes up for it given he seems to make something happen nearly every time he's played in this position.
     
    Blind is MOTM for me so far with the poise, control, intelligent distribution in midfield. I'd love to see him play in front of Carrick. It would be like going back to Carrick Scholes in 06/07
     
    Great game for us. Think it'll end 3-0 now? Got a bet on over 3.5 goals and it's available to cash out at £10 (rather than £13) if there's another goal. Should I take it? :P
     
    I reckon Rooney's 60 yard diagonal balls that go to either the defender or out of play should be turned into a drinking game. Although you'd be so smashed by half time you wouldn't remember the match.

    I tend to always give the team credit but today we haven't played scintillating stuff or anything, its just been easy. Like we're obviously playing well but Leicester have done nothing.
     
    Although we're winning 3 nil, and I'm going to sound like an old fart now, but there still seems to be a lack of balance to our play. Januzaj, until the latter stage, wasn't really involved in the game, and I'd much prefer Rooney where Di Maria is.

    Haters for pointing out he's crap in midfield... Okay. It's like saying RVP would be crap in midfield, because you know, he would.
